IFLA-OCLC Fellowship program, jointly sponsored
by the American Theological Library Association,
the International Federation of Library
Associations and Institutions (IFLA), OCLC Online
Computer Library Center and OCLC PICA, provides
early career development and continuing education
for library and information science professionals
from countries with developing economies.

The program includes lectures, seminars and
mentoring and gives Fellows opportunities to
explore topics including information
technologies, library operations and management,
and global cooperative librarianship.

The Fellows visit selected North American and
European libraries, cultural heritage
institutions and library organizations. The
Fellows also observe portions of an OCLC Members
Council meeting, gaining insight into issues
affecting global library cooperation and the
governance of a global library cooperative.
Fellows give presentations about their home
countries and libraries, meet leading
practitioners and discuss real-world solutions to
the challenges facing libraries today.

The Fellows translate their learning and
experiences into specific professional
development plans that guide their continued
growth as well as their personal contributions to
their home institutions and country of origin.
